Kingston Wheelers Sporting 14 - event cancelled

From the timekeeper:

"Kingston Wheelers event abandoned.

Just received email from Nicola Wadham

New road works today have closed Ripley Lane and the course is impassable.

Peter reviewed the alternative course but there are also new road works with traffic lights on the Effingham section.

We are very sad - after last year and with a record field."

Timekeeping Course

Through London South District CTT, Mike Kilby (Lewes Wanderers) and Su Balcombe (Brighton Excel) are running a New Time Keepers course again this year.

 

It’s being held on 5^th March and the venue is at St. Paul’s Methodist Church Hall, Woodfield Road, Northgate, Crawley.

 

The hall will be open at 7:15pm  for a 7:30pm start.

We look forward to seeing you on the  5^th

SCCU Sporting 21 mile TT

Dear Competitor,

The Southern Counties CU invite you to stretch your legs and open your lungs on

Sunday 24th March 2013 in the ever popular SCCU Sporting 21 mile TT

which will be held on the truly spectacular and breath taking GS334 course starting and finishing at Bletchingly. This event is also a counting event for Spoco SE. The vets A/S will be calculated using the CTT target times

This event a firm favourite with riders and for many years was organised by Don Glover on the behalf of the Croydon and District Cycling Association and latterly the SCCU. Don had intended to promote the event this year but circumstances sadly have dictated otherwise. No doubt many of you will have, in the past, ridden in events where you were either counted down with the parting quip of “do a good one” or more importantly, timed in by Don.

Don was not a great one for memorials so this year’s event is by way of a tribute to a very generous and enthusiastic supporter of all things cycling.

Do come and make this event one to be remembered and please spread the word far and wide so we will have a field Don would have been proud of. If a little extra incentive should be needed it is expected there will be a generous prize fund.

Brighton Excelsior CC's Early Season 11’s - CANCELLED

Hi Everyone

Brighton Excelsior Cycling Club have taken the very sad decision to CANCEL our Early Season 11’s event due to have been held at Washington Village Hall tomorrow, Sunday 20 January.

In view of the road conditions and anticipated further snowfall, we have concluded that the risk to safety of riders and other road users is to be avoided.

The Club apologises for any inconvenience caused and we hope to see some of you at our evening club events and Open events throughout the year.

Please can you circulate this update immediately to anyone who you have told about tomorrow and think may have intended to join us for what has always been an enjoyable social event to avoid them making the unnecessary and dangerous journey to Washington Village Hall in the morning.

Don’t forget I would still like to know if anyone has broken a course record during 2012 for the records.

Thank you and see you on the line.

(ample parking for both cycles and vehicles. Directions to venue will be circulated with the Agenda).

Items for the Agenda must be forwarded to the District Secretary by 17th September. If you want to change anything about the way your sport is run, then this is your opportunity.

There are great pressures on all those who use the public highways, so if you want our sport to continue please ensure you send 2 delegates to the AGM.

(Incidentally, if we don't get the quorum, then those who have made the effort to turn up are inconvenienced by having to wait an extra half hour before the meeting can commence.)

Charles Robson

In case you hadn’t heard the sad news, Charles passed away on Saturday 9th June. Apparently the news wasn’t released to the cycling world until last Friday. I understand that the funeral is to be held on Tuesday 2nd July at All Souls Church, Susans Lane, Eastbourne at about 2p.m. I’ll advise exact details as soon as known.

Season Openers

The start sheet for the District's season opening events are now available on the CTT website:

4th Feb 2012 - South Downs Bikes - 18km

5th Feb 2012 - South Downs Bikes - 34km

12th Feb 2012 - Kingston Wheelers - Sporting 14m

Full London South 2012 Calendar

Calendar now up here or off the homepage.

I've copied last year's calendar and renumbered the entries, removing the events that have gone and adding any new ones and, of course, changing day and date as appropriate.

I have had the time to check the day, date, distance, course and promoter columns today. What I haven't yet had the time to do is check the number of entrants assigned to each event, or the start time - some events start at the same time each year, others are dependent on other clubs using the course at the same time, so vary from year to year.

As my proofreader died last year, I will appreciate if anyone can point out mistakes/errors but wait till the end of the week. Also my Dad died last week, so I won't have a chance to check the rest of this until Wednesday.


Corrections to the webmaster at the site email address, please or if you know my own email address.

Cheers,
Lisa

Brighton Excelsior CC early season elevens event

Hi Everyone,

Happy New Year

I want to let you know that on the 22nd January 2012 from 10:30am till 12pm in Washington Village Hall, we are having our early season elevens event, which we would like to invite you and your club mates too.

It’s our way of having all our club mates, and friends from other clubs come and join us for a bacon butty and cuppa and catch up with all the gossip and news before the racing season really starts with the Southdowns Bikes event on the 4th and 5th February

There will be a RAFFLE full of things that you just did not even know that you wanted.

Plus the big news is that the 2012 Yellow Handbook will be on sale.

Why don’t you use it as your training ride, refreshment break or your weekend club run breakfast stop, either way you are guaranteed a warm welcome and a hot drink.

Please can you pass on this invite to your club mates and I look forward to seeing you then.

Take care.

Su B

Brighton Excelsior CC

PS: it’s also the time of year when I do my best to update the course records sheet, so if you either broke a course record/promoted an event where a record was broken/have a club mate that has broken a record/was riding in an event where the course record was broken.

PLEASE let me know.

Thanks Su B
